Her Modigliani Neck (kyoka)
stretched out
as she watched the bats
fly in the driving rain …
so subtlety white
her soft Modigliani neck
my heart beat quickened
ah – that silent temptation
(caress me my dear)
begging to be ravished
I, the Count, could not resist
(Kyoka is a form of Japanese Waka poetry … dedicated to humor, very popular in the late 18th and early 19th century.)
An example of Modigliani’s art work …
When nothing is certain anything is possible
life happens . . .
